The cavalier pups are 4 weeks

The cavalier puppies are 4 weeks.   They are wobbly walkers and starting to explore outside the whelping pen.  It’s fun to see them start to play with each other too.

They are eating solid food – well mushy food, but getting good at eating without causing too much mess.

I love these little love bugs so much <3

I woke all the babies from a nap after a big playtime and so some of the puppies were just too worn out to have photos today.  But I thought they were adorable anyway.

The cavalier puppies are 3 weeks

Time is ticking on so fast – the babies are 3 weeks already.  They all have wide open eyes and are starting to explore.  They are finding their voices and we hear little growls and “purrs” from the puppy pen when they are awake.  Its rather sweet.

This week we will add a potty box to the puppy pen and start the process of introducing potty training.  I have never done this many puppies at once so I am hoping it will work okay.

This week we will also introduce their first solids.  I will definitely post a picture or two of their first meal 🙂

Enjoy their latest pictures.

Cavalier Puppies are 1 week old

I dont know if there are many things cuter than puppies and having 9 beautiful babies in the house is almost overwhelming.  They are getting a lot of snuggle time between the kids and their friends since it is Summer holidays.  They cant wait for them to grow up a little and start to play.

Because Arrow and Paris’ babies are similar in size, we have been able to share the puppies between them, meaning that Arrow has been feeding and caring for the bigger ones and Paris the smaller ones. It has meant that everyone has had equal share to grow without being pushed around.  Its awesome and both moms are happy to take any babies they are given.  We are so lucky they are great natural mothers.

The babies turned a week old so of course you know that meant i needed to document the occasion.  Everyone has grown and filled out since they were born.  <3  And everyone has adorable nicknames now thanks to my kids and their friends.

Kiss x Gunnar’s Puppies are here

Kiss decided to surprise us by going into labor a couple of days early also.  Once she was done, we knew why as she was FULL with 7 babies in her belly.  She had NO more room left.

First born was a big Blenheim boy.

next was a tri girl

followed by another tri girl

l

and then another tri girl

and then a little Blenheim girl

and then another tri girl

and finally a big Blenheim boy to finish

So to summarize: we have 2 Blenheim boys, 1 Blenheim girl and 4 tri girls.  2 boys and 5 girls.   WOW!!   We were only expecting 5….bonus babies!

 

Little girl #4 is struggling to breathe and so we have her in an oxygen tank and i will feed her round the clock till she is strong enough to join her siblings.

** Edit **

on the 7th of Aug we lost our sweet baby girl – we had called her “Hope” and she fought so hard to live.  However, she just started to get tired and her little body began to fail her, and despite all of our efforts and hard work she lost her fight.

So we now have 9 beautiful babies – 3 from Arrow and 6 from Paris/Kiss.   <3

 

Arrow x Blake welcome their babies

This morning, in the wee hours, Arrow decided she was ready to whelp and did it all on her own.  Day 56 – so earlier than I had expected her to.

I had checked on her hours earlier and there were no signs of delivery, and when i woke a couple of hours later we had a litter.

Unfortunately, because of this, one of puppies got too cold and we lost her 🙁    But, we are thrilled to announce, 3 healthy babies  – 2 ruby girls and a black n tan boy.   6.8oz

5.8 oz

5.5oz
